I'm big JW fan as well. Even his worst stuff is much better than the other guys' best. http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/wink.gif

I didn't see a lot of the scenes before, I think a lot of them weren't in trailers.

Watch the trailers again. http://www.smilies.org/basesmilies/razz.gif Very little new material in this music video (aside from the behind the scenes footage).

Did you notice who the 'Death Sticks' guy was? its the guy who played Mouse in the Matrix!

I didn't notice that. Nice to see he can still find work. http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/biggrin.gif

It obviously isn't as good as the music of 'Duel of The Fates'
and for a reason- that was totaly original inspired only by Mozart's requiem. The entire soundtrack of AoTC is suppose to be variation/rearrangments of other tunes- since thats what the movie is- a merging between Anakin and Vader- so most of the themes are from other movies.

This explaination just doesn't jive with me. If anything this score should have easier for Williams since he's working with his old scores (which were great in and of themselves).

IMO the high point of the soundtrack is the last track 'confrontation with Count Dukoo' when, for about 45 seconds, the 'Imperial March' plays in its full glory, as oppose to TPM- in which it played twice very, very softly for about 5 seconds.

"Confrontation with Count Dooku" is definetly my favorite track (though "Return to Tattoine" gave it a run for it's money).

I aways thought that The Imperial March was all around, the best tune ever. Even just by listening to it, you get the idea that this is about the most Evil person/place/thing in creation- which, in The Empire Strikes back, is exactly what Darth Vader is.

No arguments here. http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/smile.gif

The only complaint I have about the soundtrack is the fact that 'Across the Stars' starts out just like the theme from 'Hook'- but as A Williams fan, not necceserily a Star Wars fan, I have no problems with him importing something from another movie.

I love Williams and Star Wars (the two really go hand-in-hand with me).http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/wink.gif My main complaint is that Across the Stars shouldn't have been the song they made music video on. While it is ostensibly AotC theme song, I feel one of more rousing numbers would have been a better choice (the fact that all the footage is old doesn't help matters).

Sorry about the long response, but if I get started on Wlliams, its hard for me to stop.

No worries. You should hear me go on about Nipsy Russel. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/winkgrin.gif
